Sig Smoo : "We all are family, DJ Swift is my cousin, Freet Black is my mom's lil brother and the legendary Doug E. Fresh is my uncle, he is my dad's lil brother and he brought me in the game...
The Hoodz was the youngest group to get a record deal at that time in our area and the first to do a music video in that area. We were out in the Hip-Hop game before Wu-Tang .. Redman .. Onyx.. Black Moon... we were the first underground hardcore rap group to surf out the South Bronx NYC at the youngest age at the time of year.
I knew a guy name Elliot that lived on block he knew we were into rapping, we had just cut a demo and he knew a label called International Bad Boyz / Blunted Records. He gave them our demo and they automatically signed us up to the label for a 4 single deal.
We had a great run from 1991 to 1995... we toured with Orignal Flavor ... Kurious George ... Prince Markie D of the Fat Boys ... M.O.P. and Grand Daddy IU.
After the singles came out we went on tour for them and we recorded about 7 to 8 songs, then it was disruptive situations with the group and record label that couldn't see eye to eye and some of the band members wanted to leave the label and some of us wanted to stay, so the healthy thing to do was to go solo, but we didn't break up."
Mad Props to Sig Smoo, thanks for your time.
